Encouraging our eighth graders to set goals, follow their heart, and don’t let anyone stand in their way, was the message from Haley Hughes last week at Trimble County Middle School. As a part of the “Leader in Me” program the eighth grade staff has been inviting local residents to speak about their experiences/goals from middle school until now. Other criteria include goals they set in the past, their achievements, and how the choices made in middle or high school impacted their lives.

A Project Prom 2016 planning meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m. October 20, at the Youth Services Center, located in Room 209 of the Trimble County High School.
Parents of all students and community partners are strongly encouraged to come. Planning is crucial to a substance free time of prom celebration for our juniors and seniors! If you have questions, please call 502 663-0055.

Each year, the Bedford Rotary Club recognizes a member who has exemplified exceptional service work for the club and the community at large. Jim Hurst received the honor this year, not only for his service in 2014-2015, but for an accumulated record of service since joining Bedford Rotary in 1999. As all club members recognize, being a part of Bedford Rotary means lots of time commitments and often a sharing of one’s resources to make the club viable. Jim has done this willingly for many years.
